An evocative Maison de Maitre majestically placed amongst the vineyards of the Cognac region. Previously a working Cognac farm, this rustic house holds many memories of the traditional world of the famous eau de vie. With three foot thick stone walls and exposed beams, the interior has retained much of the original feel.

Spacious and cool with shutters to calm the warming sun of the Charente, the house is an oasis in itself. The courtyard reveals the ancient methods of Cognac distilling and with a table for 10, trampoline and swingset, it provides a fun filled afternoon for the kids without leaving the property.

Set with views over the calming vineyards of Cognac - the house comprises:

First floor: two double bedrooms, a children's room with two double bunks, and family bathroom with shower, large bath and double sinks.

Ground floor: Den with double sofa bed, TV and DVD. Sitting room with exposed brickwork, wood burning stove, TV and DVD. Cloakroom with shower.

Large kitchen with table for 10, washer, dryer, fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave and WIFI.

Linens can be provided upon request.

Recent guests form Boston Massachusetts has this to say:  "Thank you, thank you very much for letting us stay in your wonderful home. The peace and quiet (except for the happy rooster) the beauty of the vineyards and the charm of Cognac, and the charm of your house was more than we could have hoped for. I loved the stairway, the high ceilings, the brown and gray of the woodwork, the stone walls , the shrub outside the kitchen windows, the lavender, the poppies, the shuttered windows. Having all that plus modern kitchen and bath was much more than we could have hoped for."
